This post is in partnership with Wayfair.
Creating a classy Halloween front porch was something I wanted to do for the kids this year. Fall is one of my favorite times to get creative with our home’s curb appeal, but this year I wanted to walk a fine line when it came to my Halloween decor. I want it to feel festive and fun for the kids, while still keeping a sense of style that flows with the rest of our home. This year, I partnered with Wayfair to bring my Halloween porch vision to life, and it’s safe to say it turned out to be equal parts spooky and chic.
You may have seen a peek at our fall front porch earlier this week over on Instagram. For Halloween, I layered on a few key seasonal pieces to give it that playful, slightly spooky edge, without going overboard.
Keeping It Classy (While Still Fun for the Kids)
The secret to a balanced Halloween porch is layering. I started with my classic fall setup: pumpkins, mums, and cozy textures, and then sprinkled in the Halloween touches. This way, the porch still feels like us, but with that extra holiday personality.
Classy Halloween Details
I pulled together a mix of playful statement pieces and subtle spooky accents—each one adding its own layer of charm. Here’s a closer look at the Halloween decorations I chose for our porch.
Pre-Lit Ghosts with Witch Hats
These little ghosts are one of my favorites! They add height, glow beautifully at night, and assembly is super simple. Perfect for a Halloween front porch that feels both fun and stylish.
A Full Size Skeleton
No Halloween porch is complete without a skeleton. I leaned ours in the corner and added uplighting for dramatic effect, but you could also sit him in a chair or pose him on the steps.
Pre-Lit Skeleton Hands
A spooky little surprise! I tucked these into my mums, but they’d also work in the lawn or even inside a pumpkin. Subtle at first glance, then delightfully creepy once you notice them.
Floating Witch Hats & Candles
These might be my favorite detail. The floating witch hats create height and movement, while the candles add a soft glow that feels magical at night.
Indoor/Outdoor Lighting
Lighting truly is the star of the show. Strategic uplighting, glowing candles, and string lights make everything feel warm, welcoming, and just the right amount of spooky.
Wayfair makes it so easy to pull together a a classy Halloween porch setup because you can shop everything from timeless fall staples to fun seasonal décor in one place. I love that their Halloween pieces feel elevated enough for adults to appreciate, but still have the playful vibe kids want to see.
